[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunseok Yoo] Jinwon Life Sciences is showing strong performance. It appears to be influenced by the news of an agreement with Hanmi Science on mRNA vaccines.


As of 1:14 PM on the 31st, Jinwon Life Sciences was trading at 23,400 KRW, up 4.00% (900 KRW) compared to the previous trading day.


On this day, the two companies announced that they have embarked on establishing a large-scale production base and a global business network for mRNA vaccines. According to the contract, both companies plan to optimize their core technologies to research next-generation production technologies for large-scale manufacturing of mRNA vaccines.


They will also become partners in building a comprehensive global nucleic acid business network, including joint research and commercialization of mRNA vaccines for new infectious diseases such as COVID-19.



Currently, Jinwon Life Sciences is conducting clinical development of DNA vaccines for prevention of COVID-19, MERS, and hepatitis C. In addition to existing COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, they possess a pan-COVID-19 mRNA vaccine candidate that prevents virus mutations. Along with this, through its U.S. subsidiary VGXI, the company owns a cGMP-grade factory capable of contract manufacturing plasmid DNA and mRNA vaccine bulk materials, which are key raw materials for DNA vaccines and gene therapies.
